Christians - do dead children go to heaven or heck?

I ask this because I'm considering the actions of women like Lori Vallow who kill their children before they reach the age of reason so that they can be guaranteed an eternity in paradise. If all children go to heaven, then what's the flaw in the logic? Shouldn't all mothers have as many children as possible and just murder them as infants so she can send as many souls as possible to heaven?

>God doesn't want that!

Sure, I agree. The woman will be darned for murder, but she has guaranteed the salvation of many souls.

>She could have parented her children to be good and saved their souls that way!

No amount of parenting can guarantee a child will turn out a certain way. I was raised Christian and attended a Christian school and here I am, an atheistic adult with no regard for any gods. It seems the only way to guarantee your children will go to heaven is to kill them.

The conclusion of this study is that there are theological and liturgical reasons to hope that infants who die without baptism may be saved and brought into eternal happiness, even if there is not an explicit teaching on this question found in Revelation. However, none of the considerations proposed in this text to motivate a new approach to the question may be used to negate the necessity of baptism, nor to delay the conferral of the sacrament. Rather, there are reasons to hope that God will save these infants precisely because it was not possible to do for them that what would have been most desirable— to baptize them in the faith of the Church and incorporate them visibly into the Body of Christ.

This is kind of r-slurred. Why is it necessary to baptize an infant who has 0 understanding of what a baptism is when God is all-knowing and all-powerful? I usually don't do this but I gotta stand with the Prots on this one.

Agreed.

This is why all freshly aborted fetuses need to be baptised immediately, even if doing so feels a bit icky .

Some theologians have come up with a procedure for in-utero baptism.

The children go to heck as an accessory in murder.

This all depends on the sect of Christianity. Baptists say the kids go to heaven, but Catholics are wishy washy about everything despite pretending not to be.

Quakers believe that you are baptized by the Holt Spirit and that the sacrament of splashing water on a child is unnecessary.

Used to be they went to purgatory but I think that got changed pretty recently so that they go to heaven. Ergo aborted fetuses, by doctrine, all go to heaven!

Who knew that abortion is the surest way of sending souls to heaven! As a society we should start making tons and tons of zygotes only to abort them later, think of how many new souls we'll send to heaven this way!

There was also that time they went to 'limbo'. Heretics can't help but fanfic whenever they don't like the truth.

Your logic is bad and you should feel bad. This is almost as dumb as seething about little boy peepees (your usual schtick)

"Each of you knows that the foundation of our faith is charity. Without it, our religion would crumble. We will never be truly Catholic unless we conform our entire lives to the two commandments that are the essence of the Catholic faith: to love the Lord, our God, with all our strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves… With charity, we sow the seeds of that true peace which only our faith in Jesus Christ can give us by making us all brothers and sisters. I know that this way is steep, and difficult, and strewn with thorns, while at first glance the other path seems easier, more pleasant, and more satisfying. But the fact is, if we could look into the hearts of those who follow the perverse paths of this world, we would see that they lack the serenity that comes to those who have faced a thousand difficulties and who have renounced material pleasure to follow God's law."-Blessed Piero Giorgio Frassati
